Mod Podge #2

Ok, I'm so getting into the Mod Podge.  Why did it take me 30 something years to realize it's wonders?!  LOL  So, we decoupaged a little box that I bought several years ago (along with the Mod Podge) just as I had planned BEFORE children.  Hahaha!  Who knew it would sit in a craft box waiting for a snowy day WITH children.  =)

The girls really enjoyed helping me decorate it.  We just ripped up tissue paper & covered in MP - then waited until it was dry.  Then we decorated with various scrapbooking flowers & stickers and recovered it all in MP.  Maddie really loved the "painting" with the MP.  I think Audrey enjoyed peeling the dried MP off my hands the best.  Silly girls!

Clothespin Project

So, occasionally the craft bug hits me and I need to make something.  Since we just redid our offices (and possibly classroom), I thought it would be cute to make something to display the girls' art work.  I had seen these on another blog a couple of months ago and knew I wanted to make them.  So, here they are!  Very simple to make.  Enjoy!

Just cut some strips from some scrapbooking paper I had, glued it down to the clothespins & covered it in Mod Podge (my new favorite thing).  Then we just took some scrapbooking embellishments and buttons (hot glued the buttons) - again, covered in Mod Podge. 

The girls enjoyed decorating and picking out flowers & buttons.

I just tacked a piece of ribbon to the wall and used the clothespins to hold the art work.  Fun, huh?
